Hello,

The HID’s regular monthly meeting is typically scheduled for the third Monday of each month.  However, since the third Monday in May coincides with the Victoria Day holiday, our regular monthly meeting has been rescheduled to Monday, May 27, 2024 at 10AM at the Hedley Centre.  You are welcome to attend.  Thank you.

The recent onset of warm weather and a mild winter has prompted increased wildlife activity in the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS). Black bears are emerging from their winter denning and looking for calorie-rich meals after months of fasting. Extra caution should be taken with sows that have new cubs.

Convenient, unnatural food sources draw wildlife into communities, creating safety concerns for wildlife and residents. Bears can smell five times better than dogs. Rats and raccoons are also well-adapted to smell out possible food sources.

Avoid attracting bears and other wildlife to your neighbourhood by:

• Storing all garbage in a secure area, preferably a lockable garage or shed.
• Washing all food and recyclable containers thoroughly before placing in bins or setting aside for depot drop-off. This can be done using a diluted bleach and water mix in a spray bottle.

• Freezing potentially smelly leftovers or scraps, especially meat and fish, and waiting until just before pick-up to place them in the garbage container outside.
• Removing bird feeders. Birdseed is a very high-calorie snack for a hungry bear.
• Waiting until the morning of pick-up to put the garbage on the curb for collection.

B.C. has the largest population of black bears in North America, and interactions within the RDOS reached new highs in 2023.

We can all do our part to reduce conflicts with wildlife. This will help keep wildlife wild and communities safe.
